You really can take a canoe trip without sedatives

Well, I wouldn't call it a sedative - not on our trips anyway.  Good whisky in canoe country is like fine wine in Italy IMO.  Something about the two that enhance each other - in moderation of course.  Somehow, a select single malt just rolls around better in canoe country than when partaking in my kitchen.  Sure, I could do a canoe trip without it - but I could also do one without my fishing gear too - but the experience wouldn't be . . .shall we say, satisfying, for me, that is.

Anyway, I digress.....

Laphroaige 10 yr.  Excellent "cool weather" scotch.  As is Oban 12.  Yukon Jack compliments anything IMO.  Makers Mark or Woodford Reserve are great campfire, cribbage burbons.  I avoid any clear type alcohol - gin, vodka, rum, teqilla and the like - these (agian, IMO) don't reflect the nutty, earthy, dirty environment of canoe country.  

The Phantom Jug makes a keen effort to be "appropriate" for the setting.   ;)

And being drunk in canoe Country is never appropriate
